[floral tree]

w for lindblad

[loud owl]

Max did sooo well

[floral tree]

ye too

[crude kiln]

People happy with the race? Not meaning the results but the racing with these new cars.

[dry goblet]

Mercedes clear by 12S ohh my

[floral tree]

Even so, I expected a little more from Max.

[cedar lichen]

@lucid quiver told u antonelli wouldn't pit btw

[lusty yew]

sand was bagged well

[loud owl]

Hmm

[lethal grail]

P20 to P6 aint bad

[cedar lichen]

He started p20 finished p6 that's strong

[floral tree]

I mean, I was hoping he'd at least overtake Norris by the end.

[lucid quiver]

merc is going to be a tough team for ferrari to beat this year

[lethal grail]

to the fact that he pulled such skill is insane

[floral tree]

idk

[lusty yew]

same

[lucid quiver]

Theyre going to be our main rivals this season

[loud owl]

I was hoping but his tires were poo

[dry goblet]

P20 to P6 is a great race wym

[cedar lichen]

This was the best moment of the race

[loud owl]

😂

[crude kiln]

Isn't the easiest track to OT on normally either

[floral tree]

bro max is a lion

[loud owl]

🦁🦁🦁

[timid grotto]

Max driver of the day deserved

[floral tree]

I simply expected more from him, although it was a very good comeback

[cedar lichen]

He aint got a rocket ship up his a$$ bro it's an energy drink car

[loud owl]

Best line of the day

[lucid quiver]

in the words of charles, lets add that to the words of wisdom

what a start to this season

Im so happy man

[clever talon]

Can we have a moment of silence for Mercedes Battery for being abit unreliable to use the second one

[lucid quiver]

Was well worth staying up for this

[fresh saffron]

It’s ahh this year car. What’s the point of f1 anyway if it’s a battery management champions league

[floral tree]

…

[crude kiln]

3s slower pole lap than last year 💀

[celest gull]

First 1/3 was exciting surely. Not sure how I feel about the rest.

[fresh saffron]

Tbf the pole lap back in 2022 when the reg changes was .8 faster than this years car so it’ll get faster yet this year car is still a$$

[cedar lichen]

Ground effects era was faster

These cars are tractors old ones were fighter jets

[wraith loom]

why are ppl tryna compare between cars that had 3 years of development and cars with zero experience

[clever talon]

Well atleast there not getting faster and faster till the point they are too quick and uncontrollable

[cedar lichen]

Let's just run the same engine as gp2

3.4 litre V6 single turbocharged

No hybrid and redlines at 8750rpm

[clever talon]

Why compare a full beast of V6 to a V6 Hybrid

[cedar lichen]

Its not a beast it produces 600hp max

[clever talon]

The F2 cars are smaller and lighter, F1 cars bigger, faster in speed, more Aero, abit Heavier

[clever talon]

It's better than some other racecars

At some point in the season as someone says the cars will slowly get faster and faster with the upgrades, IF they were faster than last eras cars then therell be more accidents, failures, alot of errors and probably serious injuries

[wraith loom]

if i were to make a prediction now, I'd predict next years' Australian GP's pole time to be 1:16:856

[split charm]

Helll yeah

I am so freakin happy

My two mercedes goats p1 and p2

🙏 🙏 🙏

[outer latch]

Goats of what ?

[split charm]

?

Idk if u tryna ragebait me or u serious rn

[split charm]

Yeah thats def something

Max out there proving to the world hes not to mess around

Ferrari slowly but surely it seems promising for them

[dry salmon]

Hamilton and leclerc not too far of antonelli and Russell

The chineese gp going to be interesting

[heady sonnet]

@floral tree nice win there by Max, master predictor 🤣

[tight birch]

[heady sonnet]

Oh my man won the f2 race ! Nice one

[winter ledge]

I miss the race. Worth to watch the full race over highlights?

[heady sonnet]

I’d watch first laps

After that it was a bit meh

[wraith loom]

the first half was good then the rest fell off

[winter ledge]

I see I see

[wraith loom]

only proper second half highlight is lawson almost wanting to flip off checo again

[winter ledge]

Uh already drama between them

[heady sonnet]

Genuinely surprised he didn’t 🤣

[crude kiln]

Any race won by Jörg Rüßler is worth watching! (jk I haven't watched it myself 😆 Only like 20 min in total)

[winter ledge]

Jorg Rubler domination might bored the fans (merc engine looks OP than other) 😂

[crude kiln]

Vietnam flashback meme from 2014-2020

[winter ledge]

Not a suprise, but not a fan. The main changes on the reg is the engine

But yeah, good race weekend is better than nothing

[chilly rivet]

who thinks farrari will be the champions this year

[heady sonnet]

Toto

[summer ether]

I do

Not LH but CL....

[chilly rivet]

yeah

[summer ether]

CL is better after marriage, ig

[chilly rivet]

[summer ether]

Really well today

Can't ignore max too..
P20 to P6, he's a real beast....

[chilly rivet]

yeah

[clever talon]

Bruh Hamilton caught up to Charles 🤣

[chilly rivet]

yeah but charles still got podeim

[crude kiln]

He actually did this 😅 Iconic

[chilly rivet]

cap

[crude kiln]

If you're talking about the pic I screenshotted it from F1's race highlights video, so no cap

[chilly rivet]

he didnt do that

[crude kiln]

Stop trolling or check the vid yourself on their YT page 😅

[chilly rivet]

i watch it

he did it for split second sorry

[summer ether]

He did it

[silent beacon]

ig gotta have the dumbest people alive

[wraith loom]

at least lando broke the curse of the australian gp

that ones just bad luck tbh 😭

[heady sonnet]

Ouch

[vast sand]

It’s almost not even your fault for being stupid. Because the F1 broadcast never shows what happened to Lawson’s car on the start. But if you’re just ignoring the fact that his car had no power for 5 seconds then you should pay more attention.

[cedar lichen]

This was 5 hours ago

[chilly rivet]

theres way more overtakes this year with the new regs

[cedar lichen]

They have a point the cars are bs

[heady sonnet]

Kimi dropped a lot of places too. Does he also need to be dropped ?

[vast sand]

In different time zones some people are still working…

[chilly rivet]

max cooked

[heady sonnet]

🤣

You always do, Lance, you always do

[celest gull]

I really believed Max was going to win today, and Hadjar podium. Because you know, someone said they were gonna 😆

[cedar lichen]

Well I am the happy side today

Mercedes P1 P2 Hamilton p4

[heady sonnet]

The master predictor ? 🤣

20 to 6 is still nice but

[celest gull]

... but who can argue with the great one 🤣

[raven parcel]

I like leclerc vs Russel

Circuit Australian is to hard for me

[heady sonnet]

Probably the only positive

[celest gull]

China gonna be interesting with all those clipping on the long straight

Is hard breaking still gonna be a thing there i wonder 🤔

[celest gull]

First time I see Ferrari Hamilton looking quite happy in the post race interviews

[wraith loom]

i think half of them came in the first 10 laps ngl

[south echo]

well tbh it was raining last year sooo idk

[waxen junco]

Assalamualaikum

[heady sonnet]

How come no one mentioned Oscar’s performance today 🤣

[rich shale]

Just following team orders 😂

[heady sonnet]

[celest gull]

Engineer: (background) "That's a nice looking crash helmet there"

Oscar: "I crash now?? AFFIRMATIVE"

[vast canopy]

Buenas que tal

[outer sentinel]

He literally pulled a Hadjar year ago

[low valley]

Hadjar at least had the excuse of rain
Oscar just binned it.

[cedar lichen]

Can't wait for 13 march

We are all so F1 deprived

[low valley]

It hasn't been 24 hours since the race
If it's really bad, watch the F2 races or something

[heady sonnet]

The f2 race was pretty decent

[south echo]

watch moto gp

[glass garnet]

I just saw the inboard from Colapinto’s race start… man he’s got reflexes 🤪

[south echo]

goat for a reason 🤷

[floral tree]

I never said Max would win, my prediction was:

1. Russell
2. Max
3. Antonelli
4. Leclerc
5. Hadjar

And I already got this season's prediction right, which you didn't

[glass garnet]

You are right … Colapinto is the GOAT 😅😂

[heady sonnet]

You sure ?

[floral tree]

Can I find you the top 5?

Yes, but then I updated the top.

[heady sonnet]

Did you post these 2? 🤣

[floral tree]

Bro, I updated the top, do I have to find your message?

ok

fk nah, ok forget it, it was in another group

[heady sonnet]

Which prediction did I not get right ?

[floral tree]

I didn't see your prediction messages

[heady sonnet]

Then how come they aren’t right ? 🤣

[floral tree]

in other group

I don't know why I said Max would win in this group, maybe it was because of the excitement.

[clever talon]

Well now we all know that Ferrari and Mercs have the pace but Ferrari has poor strategy, RedBull and McLaren have same sort of pace but slower than Ferrari and Mercs, Audi, Haas, RB and maybe Alpine will be fighting for points, Williams have a slight chance to beat Alpine, Caddy for now are beating Aston and finally Aston's will be sorted out or not

[heady sonnet]

I really don’t think Ferrari are close to Merc. Heck, George wasn’t even using his battery when he was in front and was just cruising

Merc has been sandbagging even today

[clever talon]

Especially using there 2nd and last Battery for Russel

[heady sonnet]

Hm?

I missed something

There's a FIA thingy majig about it

Looking at his first race, lindblad has some great potential......

[obsidian haven]

Is this real

[summer ether]

He was P3 in the first 2 laps...

He could defend verstappeen for like 2 mins....

But he deserves a better team next yr......

Hopefully..

[celest gull]

I'm a very serious person. I don't do jokes.

[clever talon]

Yes only coz Ferrari strategy is still terrible if they pitted under VSC there would of been more fights for P1

[molten carbon]

Yea they should’ve boxed earlier

[agile lake]

Russel cooked

[low valley]

why is there an FIA sticker on the Cadillac?

[agile lake]

Russel cooked thats it's

[sonic tinsel]

Because it's part of their livery?

[low valley]

Huh
Completely missed it
The logo does get hidden by the wheels on side views.

[sonic tinsel]

Seems to be common among a few

[low valley]

Huh
Didn't know anyone had those.
Well

[low valley]

Yeah, I'd take that info with a massive grain of salt.

[sonic tinsel]

See the beginning of my statement

[low valley]

Something still looks... off about that Cadillac image though.
Dunno why

[sonic tinsel]

It's a promo image so has definitely been altered, at least touch ups. Not sure of its source to know if it's official. Simply posted on social media

[celest gull]

I think it's part of the regulation that every car needs to have the FIA logo

[glass garnet]

F2 amd F3 in Montreal would be insane !!!

That would be a F1 (with Sprint) F2/F3/F1 Academy

Honestly cheering for that in my home country , but realistically I know F2 and F3 never cross the Atlantic

[heady sonnet]

Max driving a Mercedes by the ens of the month! I hope he wins in a Merc also after doing a Ferrari last year

Ah no sorry it’s in May

[floral tree]

Max will be world champion, I'm serious

im not ragebaiting

[clever talon]

He won't be world champion again

He caught up to Norris slowly but the gap to Ferrari and Mercs was still growing

[floral tree]

Bro, chill out, he started P20 and finished P6, Hadjar qualified P3, and the Ford Trans engine is the most powerful, so we'll see who the real Red Bull is in China.

LECLERRRC (im french)

[lethal prism]

Could ferarri have gotten a 1-2 if they pitted under the VSC?

[dapper wagon]

Absolutely not. Merc were cruising holding back their true pace.

[clever talon]

But they were catching since Merc wasn't gonna pit from Hards

[clever talon]

I don't think they'll be using it in China as alot of sources said it will be more likely be in August time or Montreal

[heady sonnet]

Russel wasn’t even going all out

[lethal prism]

If Mercedes dominates I'll be happy, if Ferrari dominates I'll still be happy.

[lethal prism]

I thought you were talking about a literal kebab not the testing wing

You were wrong 😆

[heady sonnet]

Kebab wing is a good spin on the description

[lilac seal]

Hello

[maiden void]

Hello

[dapper wagon]

Merc weren’t pushing 100% as they didn’t need to. They were controlling the pace and the gap incase of a VSC/SC.

Fred has said Ferrari lacked around 3 tenths a lap in true race pace.

[clever talon]

With the upgrades coming soon or later they will probably be fighting but the only part they are good at is cornering

[vale robin]

No, but maybe it's time to move on to the new season, guys, because being two Grand Prix behind is a real bummer

[mortal stirrup]

The F1 Clash 2026 Season is approaching! Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming announcements and information on what Players can expect and when season change will occur!

[low valley]

Bruh
Even the bot's posting in the wrong channel

[vast sand]

A not a 1-2 but a 2-4 was possible

[outer sentinel]

Just out of curiosity: during the second VSC did the FIA closed the pit lane before ferrari got in there?

[heady sonnet]

Yes. All other f1 games have already moved to 26. Right ? Or something ?

[vale robin]

I'm not really sure what you're saying, but I don't understand why the game still hasn't been updated. It's a bit shameful, I think.

[heady sonnet]

I was pretty clear there.

It takes time to move to a new season. Not a single other game is releasing before clash. So if you feel something is “shameful” - I’m sure that you can do a better job there and release faster. Right?

[sand otter]

[heady sonnet]

Why do they refer to Ferrari’s wing as Macarena wing ?

[clever talon]

Idk coz it doesn't dance

[heady sonnet]

I can’t make the connection

[celest gull]

I assume it's the hand flip in the macarena dance?

https://tenor.com/view/kakashi-fortnite-shippuden-dance-macarena-gif-26029871

[heady sonnet]

Makes sense

[dapper wagon]

That’s what Fred called it during testing. As budakoren said it’s because of the hand flip in the dance

There’s an interview somewhere out there

[heady sonnet]

[floral tree]

I swear I'll never forget that day, that's why I hate Lewis Hamilton so much, and also because of the fights he had with Vettel in past years.

During Hamilton's era, the FIA ​​supported him far too often (for seven years), and I won't argue with anyone about it. His era was simply mediocre, full of superficiality. Now that the FIA ​​has given Max a little more support in 2022-2025, some toxic fans want to claim the FIA ​​supports him, when in reality, if we go back a couple of years, I can expose just how mediocre Hamilton's career really was

Bro, that accident was totally grounds to disqualify Hamilton from the race, and with the new regulations, he might even be banned from racing in a Grand Prix

[gleaming saffron]

Tu tu ddu-

[clever talon]

Right this is the 4th or 5th time I've said this to people about Hamilton on that day, it wasn't his fault as there was no space on the outside so he goes on the inside, if you see onboard Hamilton didn't make Verstappen crash on purpose he started to turn in then Verstappen turned as like he wasnt, Hamilton lifted off the throttle also he didn't do anything Verstappen should of known that he was there still and turn abit later and off throttle. They would be perfectly fine with no contact if Verstappen lift off the throttle like Hamilton did and yes Hamilton shouldnt of been on the inside and that's why he got penalty but there was room, just like Monza.

[lethal prism]

Alonso trust me Aston just sandbagging

[floral tree]

No, bro. Hamilton knows it's a fast and dangerous corner that was taken at 300 km/h back then. The mistake was Hamilton's: feinting, and not just feinting on the inside, but trying to see if he could pass was the mistake. Verstappen had the line first. If Verstappen had the line first, it wasn't Verstappen's mistake, and Verstappen shouldn't have slowed down or anything. He simply had the line. Hamilton should respect that, and as a seven-time champion, he should have at least a basic understanding that the inside move he made was going to be dangerous, and it was. So the blame falls entirely on Hamilton, because of ego and pride, and other words that this server simply won't let me say

Bro, on a curve like that, you can't position yourself like that on the inside, especially when you don't have enough space to put the steering wheel at the correct angle and take it flat out, as is always done on that curve

Max Verstappen shouldn't have done anything. He had the line, he was the one who was right. Hamilton should have slowed down or braked just before turning the corner, not made a rookie mistake and sent Verstappen into the wall and almost into the sky

He even knew he could send Max Verstappen into the wall and he still did it; that's irresponsible, something unbecoming of a driver who calls himself the "7-time world champion"

[wraith loom]

its called hard but good racing

[empty cedar]

Hey guys, good evening, sorry for asking, but I'm a little out of the loop. Do you happen to know when the 2026 regulations update for the game will be released?

[wraith loom]

ask in the correct channel first ^^

[leaden quail]

Yes please

[crude kiln]

What are Ferrari doing with that white... also dead chat during a Q 💀

Also boring to be back to 2014-2020. Hope other teams catch up soon

[loud owl]

I am watching it whilst getting ready for school

My tv is very blue

[heady sonnet]

Merc are not even trying

[loud owl]

So boring today

[burnt plover]

Everyone have the same thought, FIA should apply the rule to limited mec sooner. Otherwise, this season will focus on who will become 3rd

[pulsar furnace]

The rule is being applied from Monaco so it should slow them down

[crude kiln]

Yeah imagine if you would have got like you wanted with Max in that car now instead of George. Looking like an easy WDC a la Lewis' glory days

[glad granite]

I love f1

[crude kiln]

F1 loves you too

[pulsar furnace]

Mercedes would drop Russel anyway for Max

[loud owl]

Crashed out in class cause of sprint qually 😅

[crude kiln]

Yeah that was the whole thing a while last year. Toto simping over Max while George's new contract mysteriously stalled 😆

[viscid void]

shut bub

[heady sonnet]

😆 that’s the spirit

[heady sonnet]

I wonder if we will see the true potential of the Merc or they will keep sandbagging

I believe they will make it seem closer than it is to avoid other suppliers to bring more upgrades

I read that if others are within 2-4% they can bring one upgrade, if more than 4 - 2 upgrades every 8(?) races

[pulsar furnace]

At this point, they dont even have to sandbag. They are just cruising while the others try and keep up

[heady sonnet]

Which is sandbagging

As they want to keep the difference small

[pulsar furnace]

A team could have the best drivers ever but if the car cant run fast, no driver can fix that by simply driving better or "faster"

[pulsar furnace]

Yeah, enough to dominate but not enough to raise eyebrows too much

I just love how Russell is whinging about Ferrari's starting quick pace and telling FIA to take action when he is driving a Mercedes loopholed engine

[heady sonnet]

Yes, there is only so much a driver can compensate for, 1+ sec per lap is not possible

[pulsar furnace]

Exactly. Not even accounting for pit stops and needing to use different composition of tyres

[heady sonnet]

No that’s not even the worst part . The worst part is when Ferrari wanted to change last year the same stuff saying it’s not good in the long run EVERYONE was against it. Ferrari adjusted and others didn’t 1 and Karen is blaming Ferrari 😆

[pulsar furnace]

I miss when Russell was in Williams

Wish Sainz was in Merc instead of Russell

[heady sonnet]

That would be scary 😆

[pulsar furnace]

No one can even say anything negative about that because Sainz deserves it

oop, what was that screenshot?

[pulsar furnace]

Lmfao, I believe it. But I also wouldn't doubt if they themselves are unsure and are just assuming stuff

[pulsar furnace]

Lmao! Nah, kimi catching strays

Merc strategy is to get one driver at first position all the time while the second driver lays mines and crashes to protect

[torn heart]

It's usual after all to have people crying about loopholes and early season domination, nothing new, same old things

[glass garnet]

Mercedes domination isn’t even funny.

Only the 2nd race of the year and I’m already getting bored

[torn heart]

They won't dominate all year. And honestly if you found the first race boring, yeah maybe you'll be deceived 😬

[outer sentinel]

Why are Williams, Astons and Cadillacs set backwards?

[clever talon]

They definitely have much more pace but we can't prove it

https://tenor.com/view/cars-2-2hollis-poster-boy-james-doakes-dexter-meme-gif-4358395329567106680

They found more than a loophole in the Engine

[celest gull]

Mercedes actually has 2 v6 engines in each car. I know it, just can't prove it

[heady sonnet]

Cause they were super slow

[outer sentinel]

Fair enough

If George somehow fumbles and/or gets a terminal failure, it will be the fact that the curse of one-handed pole will still live on

[crude kiln]

Imagine we had 8 years of that before 💀

[clever talon]

He only has 1 Battery left

[outer sentinel]

The curse of Gigakubica is in the range then

But back to current regs, i actually like the overtaking galore.

[clever talon]

The speeds comparison last year to this year is crazy tho in Australia the highest speed reached was 308kmh, this year was 326-331kmh

Idk what that is in mph I just read that off something

[outer sentinel]

And the cars are shorter, which means: more possibilities of overtaking at tighter tracks like monaco

[pulsar furnace]

But no power means that they need to be playing chess with their driving

The thing is that if Leclerc or Hamilton can get ahead of Russell in the start and just play defense, Russell or Kimi cant get past them. The second that Merc gets ahead of them, its over

[heady sonnet]

Lec can usually defend well

Rip racing in April

Which on the bright side is 2 less wins for Merc 😆

[heady sonnet]

They didn’t penalize Kimi ? What?

When max did exactly the same thing to Karen( oh he almost killed me omg omg ban him) he did get a penalty

[outer sentinel]

FIA wants merc to dominate F1 again and it is even worse

[floral tree]

where is ferrari?

where is hamilton i dont see him

absolute domination

[clever talon]

Well FIA is investigating Russell's car

[floral tree]

Ferrari is a crybaby, the team that cries the most in 2026

[outer sentinel]

To be fair, their engines ARE stupidly overpowered

[floral tree]

Mercedes no longer competes in F1; it's competing in F0 where there are simply no competitors

🥶

[heady sonnet]

Eh? They are pretty happy

[floral tree]

all the years

💔 😭

[heady sonnet]

You are mistaking merc Ferrari and Red Bull. Basically all the teams complain

Ferrari hasn’t whined really so far in 26. Merc ironically have

[floral tree]

The 7-time champion watching the one who made him a 7-time champion

[outer sentinel]

You know what is also stupid? The fact that there are 3 rounds of qualifying for a sprint. I mean seriously, 3 quali sessions for a short race?

[heady sonnet]

Why not ? They are missing fp2 and they need the track time. Better chances to see how you do in qualifying also

[floral tree]

The best part is that it's real and ironic

[floral tree]

because they have only fp1

A practice session is too short for F1 drivers to learn the circuit properly and improve or fine-tune key aspects of the car

[floral tree]

thats it

[gloomy skiff]

if not then what do you suggest? if you have 1 round you have major traffic

[clever talon]

How can you tell someone is a Mercedes Fan

By not telling you there a Mercedes Fan

[fallen leaf]

I need them to investigate and make changes so Ferrari can start to win 😄

[clever talon]

At the moment it's just the Front wing of his car

[fallen leaf]

So his front wing is the reason for their rocket ship ?

[clever talon]

I have no clue, the power unit is the main thing but the Front Wing not sure

[fallen leaf]

Ah ok, honestly I think Lewis has a chance for a sprint win if he gets good start. I think Mercedes’s pace is only important in quali after what we saw in Australia

[clever talon]

About the Merc Power Unit

[heady sonnet]

That’s old. They pushed it for earlier

[south echo]

wth why is the sprint at 4 am and the race at 8, makes zero sense

[celest gull]

Because Sprint replaces FP3, which is usually earlier in the day before normal qualifying. Timewise also, Sprint Qualifying replaces the usual FP2.

[crimson cloud]

Salut ça va

[clever talon]

How much earlier?

[heady sonnet]

99% sure it was 1 June, before Monaco. The other 1% is for July before Silverstone

[clever talon]

Well we will shall see when the time comes

[floral tree]

im sincere

I hope Max can make a comeback today, although I think it's very difficult. Two seconds off first place is mortal

Bro, I just hope that's not Red Bull's true potential, although Red Bull has always had problems, mainly in China. In 2025, I think the max only managed to get P4 or P5, if I remember correctly

[heady sonnet]

0.1% chance he'll do a comeback. The car is a tractor 😄

[floral tree]

Bro, imagine being born in a country where the national sport is baseball, but you're so upper class that you hate it and only watch motorsport because you're a first-worlder in a third-world country

Can we pull a double podium for the sprint

Would be a perfect start of the week

[pulsar furnace]

16 laps to go. Merc got insane pace so we will see if Ferrari doesn't need to pit

[lucid quiver]

This merc is a rocket

They’re going to give us hell but we FIGHT BACK

Red bull 8.0 and 11.9

[lucid quiver]

Yeah this year is going to be ferrari vs merc

[pulsar furnace]

Does Ferrari have the rear wing modified?

[floral tree]

bro why max is so slow with his rb

[lucid quiver]

Antonelli just outclassed piastri

[lucid quiver]

We ditched the macarena wing for now

We had little time to test it on FP

[pulsar furnace]

[lucid quiver]

Tomorrow, china race

He is sandbagging, trust the delulu

[lucid quiver]

10 sec penalty for anto

Perfect

[pulsar furnace]

Rip Ferrari. 1.8 and 2.3

[lucid quiver]

It’s just the sprint

[pulsar furnace]

I missed what happened with Kimi. What happened?

[lucid quiver]

Idm losing this to win tomorrow

Had a touch with hadjar

Gg for Ferrari

[lucid quiver]

Ferrari wyd dont crash smh

[pulsar furnace]

Lewis was trying to get the podium last week in Australiia

[lucid quiver]

Nearly got it

[pulsar furnace]

The partnership between Leclerc and Hamilton is so rough

Unless Ferrari wants Leclerc to defend against Kimi

3.5 difference? Insane

[lucid quiver]

The tires aint doing so good

[pulsar furnace]

That track must be cooking in that weather

[lucid quiver]

Five week break what a shame

[pulsar furnace]

Imagine if the experienced F1 drivers leave next year and this commercial hit in FIA. F1 could be cooked next year if that happens

[lucid quiver]

Fr

[pulsar furnace]

The gap increase between Russell and Leclerc is insane

[lucid quiver]

Lindblad retiring

[pulsar furnace]

Rip. Mechanical issues

Gasly ahead of Hadjar. Both redbulls are 10 and 11

[lucid quiver]

We getting double podium if this carries on either way so im happy

If the race ended like this anto would be 6th

Leclerc defense lessons

Bottas retiring too

[pulsar furnace]

Hamilton just needs to stay close to Kimi or else he loses the podium

[lucid quiver]

Nico too LOL

3 DNFS in a sprint what is this madness

Safety car

This might be good for ferraris 👀

[pulsar furnace]

Nah, this F1 is a joke because cars are struggling to even finish

[lucid quiver]

Box for leclerc

[pulsar furnace]

Leclerc boxing

[lucid quiver]

All drivers boxing for softs maybe

[pulsar furnace]

Good time finally

[lucid quiver]

im smelling a hamilton P1 👁️

[pulsar furnace]

I am hoping Leclerc P1

Oh shoot, Kimi doesn't have the 10 sec penalty anymore cuz he stayed in the pit instead

[lucid quiver]

Yep

[pulsar furnace]

Down to 19 racers

[cedar lichen]

so unlucky SC deployed rightbefore he overtook

[lucid quiver]

Anto might have not did the pen

[pulsar furnace]

I think he did, no?

[lucid quiver]

not sure

[cedar lichen]

Why bottas retired

[pulsar furnace]

Or was it just a slow pit?

[pulsar furnace]

Problem with the car

[lucid quiver]

Nvm its served

[cedar lichen]

He got a 10 second penalty

Served in pits

[lucid quiver]

I just need hamilton to pass norris and we good

[cedar lichen]

Russell unsafe release?

[pulsar furnace]

Won't be too hard for that

[lucid quiver]

Omg sainz WYD bro

[lucid quiver]

lets go lewis, HAMMERTIME

[cedar lichen]

I thought Ferrari was going to run Macarena wing

[pulsar furnace]

The battery comparison could hint Leclerc might overtake Russel

[lucid quiver]

Ferrari double podium.. here we go

[pulsar furnace]

Another wheel spin

[lucid quiver]

Yeah no leclerc aint passing russell

[cedar lichen]

End the safety car already bro

[lucid quiver]

lewis will take norris though

[cedar lichen]

Why another lap

[pulsar furnace]

Leclerc was going to at the start and the wheel spin screwed him

[cedar lichen]

Leclerc has more battery than russell

lewis push and attack too hard at the start of the race. China is a circuit where the tires get a lot of wear and tear due to its aggressive and wide corners; if you wear them out too quickly, it takes its toll

Isn't he on his last power unit? If he screws that up, he could be out of this year's season, no?

Good job to Kimi for getting pole

[cedar lichen]

idk

at least kimi got pole and not some ferrari or mclaren

[wraith loom]

last energy store

but this was a gearbox problem so it shouldnt be an issue

[pulsar furnace]

Let's hope so

Imagine winning consecutive grand prixs and then you are out of the season because of a power unit

[loud owl]

Who's happy with qualifying?

[heady sonnet]

They would get penalties, wouldn’t be out of the season completely

[pulsar furnace]

Ah

This ain't even fun anymore. Merc just winning with that engine of theirs

And Russell acting like he's the goat

[loud owl]

I wasReally annoyed about Russell getting pole yester for sprint apparently you could hear me shout from my class into the corridor 😅

[pulsar furnace]

Crazy

[loud owl]

😅 I wasn't happy at all

[pulsar furnace]

I can imagine

I just feel bad for Max and Izack

Driving literal unstable trolleys

[sinful forge]

is anyone going to Chinese GP today?

[heady sonnet]

That Lando era lasted what, 3 months ? 😆

[sterile basin]

The ford is so bad

[south echo]

yup the red bulls an undriveable car, congratulations to george on the wdc

the ferraris are close though

[heady sonnet]

The Ferraris need to work together to beat Karen

The Merc are still sandbagging as I said

[pulsar furnace]

Not to mention, if they are sandbagging and Russell's on a second power unit and they are sitting comfortable at 3.5, they are practically guaranteed a win. The others are most likely just gonna struggle to finish the race

[raven parcel]

Why?

[wraith loom]

uhhhh

[heady sonnet]

If? They don’t want the gap to be bigger than 2-4% as the would allow others to make 2 upgrades

[clever talon]

So if they use all of there power they would be a second or more quicker

[silent rain]

Maybe they'll get lucky in a race, but that's all, it's still a ridiculous team without a champion's character, not to mention their handsome prince, the prima donna Leclerc.. he is lucky Hamilton is not in his prime

[heady sonnet]

At least. Easily

[pulsar furnace]

I am not going to take that as confirmation till I hear it/see it directly from FIA report

[pulsar furnace]

Middle East War

[heady sonnet]

What confirmation? It’s in the rules

[pulsar furnace]

More than that. They are already almost a second quicker. If they went full capacity, they would be easily double or just under

[pulsar furnace]

I meant the 'if' part

[heady sonnet]

If you are behind on engine power you have either 1 or 2 y upgrades to catch up

[pulsar furnace]

Like the confirmation around the sandbagging part and where they arent using their full capacity

[clever talon]

Well as we seen in Quali we have seen some weak spots in Merc

[pulsar furnace]

Plus, even if the unit can go higher with the output doesnt mean the car will be able to handle it

You could result in high vibrations, imbalance of steering, horrendous turns

[heady sonnet]

Check ADUO rules for full explanation

Regarding the performance - just watch their onboards too. Russel seems to be cruising when he’s in front. Doesn’t even reach as high speed as he has before 😆 100% deliberate as if after 6 races gap is big - upgrades can be brought in race 13. Or if gap is big after race 12- upgrades can come in race 19

FIA will never say “oh that guy is sandbagging” 😆

[crude kiln]

Idk why Williams aren't shown as blue in the graphics. We have 1 blue team and 5 based on white. So I always struggle to find Williams in particular among them all 😅

And Red Bull's having issues on that front.

[floral tree]

nah

[floral tree]

bro alpine surprise me

i dont lie yu

[low valley]

They do have Merc engines now, so they can do a lot better.

[floral tree]

well i dont see that in mclaren

[low valley]

1. McLaren's faster than Alpine
2. Dunno about aero for McLaren, but they're struggling with optimizing the software and power deployment/recovery.

Though it is expected that the factory teams do better than their customers. They can't sell underpowered engines like they used to, but they optimize the software better.

[floral tree]

Factory teams will always perform better than non-factory teams; it happens in all categories—it's an unwritten rule in motorsport

I don't know what the joke is, if you want, tell me so I can laugh

That's literally how it is, or at least most of the time. You can see this in both WEC and MotoGP; non-factory teams mostly never manage to surpass the performance, with the exception of Jorge Martin, who, if I'm not mistaken, was champion with Pramac in 2024, and I think it was a non-factory bike. However, he was only points away from losing the championship due to Pecco, who is on the official Ducati team if it weren't for all the mistakes he made that season and when I say mistakes, it's because the mistakes Pecco made that season were inexcusable; they seemed like rookie mistakes.

It's obvious that official brands won't give all the good features to unofficial ones, that's why official brands are always better because it's obvious, and over time you realize it's true

[glass garnet]

It’s now official

[brittle topaz]

Guys have u heard there no race on April?

@floral tree Why do you have beef with Hamilton

Respectfully asking

[wraith loom]

is there going to be replacements?

There should be, but most likely not, they could just bring back a French race and a German one

[glass garnet]

No

[wraith loom]

aw man

[pulsar furnace]

Atleast good thing is that its more time teams can have to fix the damages that the cars have taken during collisions

And less points Merc is going to get before Monaco regs kick in

[floral tree]

He's a puppet of the FIA ​​and marketing, and I consider all his titles to have been given to him

And well, he's the eternal rival of Vettel and Verstappen, two of my favorite drivers

Well, the second stint of the Ferraris in all the races doesn't make me doubt myself that much because they don't surprise me, haha

[timid grotto]

Piastri hasn't completed a lap in either grand prix 😭

So start praying that it doesn't happen

[timid grotto]

[pulsar furnace]

Verstappen might overtake lindbald

Overtaken

And then taken back

[lucid quiver]

Bearman insane reactions

[pulsar furnace]

The gap between P1 and P3

[lucid quiver]

Merc is going to struggle on tracks with many corners

[pulsar furnace]

Definitely

Can't believe Max is struggling against Lindblad 😭

[wraith loom]

Nah. It's Ford engine.

Not giving them properly balanced power

[neon comet]

Can't do it anymore with them

Tyre is gone for max

[pulsar furnace]

Hadjar a good 16.9 behind. Max is P10

[neon comet]

Can't support my heavy driver anymore with the damned engine🥀

[pulsar furnace]

Max did say that the tyres degrade in RB cars more than others

Alpine doing solid

[floral tree]

Bro, Red Bull doesn't last at all, and Racing Bull seems even better.

[lucid quiver]

About time

[floral tree]

so hard to see this

[lucid quiver]

Mclaren too

[pulsar furnace]

Also, 3.7 difference between P2 and P3

[timid grotto]

Max pitting already

[lucid quiver]

LOL

[floral tree]

So, bro, McLaren's out... Max was supposed to take advantage of that opportunity, but since he's driving like a tractor, it's impossible for him...

[pulsar furnace]

Lmao

[floral tree]

[timid grotto]

Stroll out

[lucid quiver]

Ferrari now would be the time to pit
